It´s a Wonderful Life Suit finished

I finished the suit of the film in January, " It´s a Wonderful Life". I´m very happy with the result, it´s a very stylish suit with which I feel very comfortable, since the average temperature wher I live is quite soft, the waistcoat is an ideal garment.

I´m totally in love with the shape of the layer and the wieght it falls on my back, it looks totally majestic yet gentle woman, I feel like an English lady when I wear an umbrella and of course to wear thes suit I will have to use curl in my hair, it´s curious that a hairstyle check both the personality and image you want to project, I learned this only recently, since I started to photograph me with outfits I have come to see the importance of hairdo.

Finally I chose to put the fabric covered buttons black skirt as suggested Lady Sarsaparrilla, these little details of the buttons and buckle in the back give the waistcoat a touch of distinction in contrast with the fabric squares Wales that make it very original, with the little push Sarsaparrilla (wink) I also want to thank Lauren and Ruth by their help with the name of the mitered corners, I haven´t great knowledge of English and sometimes the names used in English and Spanish for the same thing aren´t the same, so I often can committing a bit silly with the language, your help is highly valued.

Accessories .... when I have to wear an outfit the next day or when I finish one of them (like now), my mind works hard the night before at the time that we are under a good blanket and resting on the pillow, it tries to wander to accessories which I have at home can do better with these colors, or the look that I want to show...

In this case, my mind got a lot of laps, but eventually I came to the conclusion that the suit is fairly complete in itself, so I just wore ablack knitted beret ( I was grateful at this moment in my termporary insanity ), stockings whit sewing completely hooked 40s look and a small brooch of my little collection ( pictured below)

The skirt.... when I went to distribute the patterns to cut the skirt and necck vest, I found I had little more than a yard of black fabric, so I could not cut a pleated skirt, had to be a simple pencil skirt, the pattern of this skirt perfectly and even served on a piece of cloth for covering buttons.

This skirt is a basic will spend a lot in my wardrobe this winter, for example, with this top of the previous outfit.... will... step by step, I´m getting a wardrobe sewn for me and combined with each other. Mmm........ now I think I desperately need some color in my closet...

Absolutely impressive suit. You look so perfectly vintage. I don't remember the suit from the movie, so now I have to rewatch the movie and keep an eye out for the suit. All your accessories are wonderful too. I love the cape.
